Most embarassing gaming moment?

In our last campaign, the only female in the group was introducing a new character - a fighter, after she decided that the rogue wasn't her thing.
Given that they were on an isolated continent far from nowhere, I had to get creative in how to bring her in, and as it was a high level game, I started her off with a ring of regeneration, and a ring of sustenance, and explained that she'd been in a spider's cocoon for about 10 years from an earlier expedition to the continent. A dying avatar (who was in the cocoon next to her) had used his powers to calm her to keep her from going insane through the ordeal.
When the party opened her cocoon, I described her in basic terms, and someone asked if she was naked? (a reasonable question, I suppose) And I said, "no, she's very well equipped".
I never quite lived that one down.

I had a race of angelic humanoids called High Men. Well, it doesn't quite sound right when you say "you are greeted by the Highmen". I also described a dark evil as the "taint"... I'm sure you know what *else* it can mean.

My moment.
Hey all...
Gaming group consisted of me and 4 of my co-workers, one of which was my direct superviser, who was the DM. (By work, I mean U.S. Air Force active duty).
Anyway, the party was on horses when we were attacked from range by lizardmen archers. *roll roll* DM tells me I fall off my horse.
"What?"
"You fall off your horse. Take 1d6"
"How? My character is an elf with 18 Dex!"
"War is hell. Things like this happen."
"Bah. I personally have never been on a horse in my life, and I doubt even _I_ would simply fall off a horse!"
As I said the "fall off" part, I dramatacized things even further by kind of bouncing out off my chair onto the floor. Unfortunately, I missed the floor and landed on the AC/Heater vent that surrounded the base of the floor. Knocked about 8 panels off from where I 'fell' to about 20 feet toward the living room.
It didn't feel like d6 worth of damage either...
Later!

Well, this one might not seem embarassing to some, but for those who had to hide their geekish tendencies in high school lest they be mocked forevermore, you'll understand.
My friends and I are playing some hardcore D&D in my garage...we're yelling, throwing stuff, bouncing all around the place like cracked out ninjas, when I hear a knock on the door. Thinking it's my mom, we quiet down and I walk to the door and open it. It's not my mom. It's a female friend...and right next to her is the school hottie. They wanted to hang out with us. Well, normally we would have hid the books but they heard us and there were books and dice everywhere. Maybe it shouldn't be embarassing, but it was.

I supposed this was embaressing, but it did'nt bother me in the slightest.
, some highschool friends and I were playing and the pizza finally showed up. I was in full swing, talking in a old womans brittish acent and cakcling like mad to puctuate sentences. My back was to the door and I missed the fact that most of the guys had fallen silent. Apparently the girl delivering the Pizza was very hot and very puzzled by he game.

I don't know if it is embarrassing ... but it has lost its power to affect me so I guess it was back then ...
Way back in 1st edition days ... describing the village the party had come ...
"As you move into the village, the village people come out cheering."
Think about that for a second ... and you will understand why the players started singing and making big letters in the air.

Growing up, we kind of had the whole "seperation of Church and State" thing going with RPGs....we would play religiously, and talk about them amongst ourselves, but never bring it up when we were with dates, or at school. Funny what lengths we used to go to in order to keep the perception of being "cool" intact.
Anyway, there were several occasions back in those days where we would be playing well into the morning at my folk's house (they were always out of town), and friends would show up, and a lot of times, they were good looking womenz that we had crushes on. Anyway, the person that answered the door would try and distract them while the other players cleaned up the RPG evidence.
Now that I am married, I don't really have to hide it. My wife knows I'm a D&D dork.....we still have an inside joke - whenever we refer to the local game store, we call it "the dork store".
